Our Story (That Nearly Didn't Happen!)
Some love stories begin with sparks flying instantly. Ours? Well, it started with an introduction through our parents, reluctant texting, an unexpected trip to India, and an eight-hour accidental first date.
Our families set us up — classic! Our parents met each other, they were completely convinced. We started exchanging texts, and while we got along, let’s be honest—long-distance is hard. Building a relationship over the phone? No, thank you. We both quietly assumed this wasn’t going anywhere.
And then, fate (or just an oddly timed trip) stepped in. Biju needed to visit India and his Dad insisted we meet in person before calling it quits. So, with minimal enthusiasm, we agreed to a polite, get-this-over-with family lunch.
But then something unexpected happened. After surviving the obligatory meal, we decided to step away for a bit—just a short outing to properly say we tried. What was supposed to be an hour or two turned into an epic eight-hour adventure filled with horse riding, bowling, video games, and nonstop conversation. Suddenly, saying goodbye didn’t seem so easy. We met again the next day… and then again after that.
Before we knew it, the distance between Bangalore and Mysore didn’t feel that long. And soon, even the time zone difference between London and Bangalore didn’t seem too much either.
And then—just a few months later—he went down on one knee (yes! he actually did!), and she said "yes!" (yes! she actually did!).
We soon celebrated our engagement in a ceremony with our family & friends. And now, here we are, writing this for our wedding website!
